Elladan and The Epic Fail

By: Lady Erestor83

this just randomly popped in my head...this is a one shot...

main character Elladan

mentions of: Elrohir, Elrond, Erestor, and Glorfindel

A/N: you will see the term Carpet Duster...its a vacuum for elves lol

summary: As a punishment, Elladan is sent to clean the Hall of Fire...

Cleaning supplies? Check. Carpet Duster? Check. Window cleaner? Check. Rags? Check.

Elladan looked at the large tubs of supplies before him. He sighed. Why did he always do these things? First, he had dyed Glorfindel's hair pink. It was a mistake. He was unaware that it had been Glorfindel's hair oil he had put the pink in. He thought it was the oil that made bubbles. Elladan grabbed the tub and headed to the Hall of Fire. Curse it all. Elladan set the tub down harshly causing a bottle to break open. Elladan swore under his breath. This was just like a couple days earlier when he had set an exploding ink pot in Erestor's study. Erestor actually threw a book at him. A book! The most beloved thing in his life. Elladan sat on the floor miserably.

" Why do I do such things?"

Then there was the prank he unintentionally pulled on Elrohir. He had meant to push his brother into the river and pull him out. Instead, Elrohir fell in and was injured due to the fact that Elladan had accidentally splash water on that particular rock. Elladan started to laugh, in spite of his punishment. Then there was the final straw. Elladan played a prank on his Ada. Elladan had exchanged Elrond's afternoon tea with dark water, only finding out later that the dark water was not actually water at all. It was an herbal remedy for humans. When Elladan thought of what it had caused his Ada to do, such as tear the library to shreds while hopping on one foot singing something about a small world, he wanted to laugh, but would not.

Elladan stood, grabbing his tub of supplies and setting them on a nearby table. There was one empty container amongst the ones that were filled. Suddenly, Elladan had an idea. Instead of using each thing to clean, why not mix them together and have one cleaner for everything? Elladan set to his work, mixing the window washing liquid with everything else, including the tablet that was for stains on the carpet. He smiled proudly. He had created something new. His smile faded, however, when the mixture began to bubble.

" Uh oh."

Then in a moment, it was over. The mixture exploded everywhere, sending pieces of glass and the tub itself everywhere. Elladan hid under the table until the explosion was over. He slowly crept out from under the table. The Hall of Fire was no longer an entire hall, but pieces of a left over building. Swallowing hard, Elladan fled.

*a few hours later*

Elrond, Glorfindel, and Erestor walked to the Hall of Fire. They saw many elves outside, including Elrohir. When the three elven Lords saw the mess, they knew there could only be one elf responsible.

"ELLADAN!"
